First week back in a Filofax - Falling back in Love with Filofax

Today I am going to show you my first week of falling back in love with my Filofax.

How I have used it, what I have changed etc...

It is not all that exciting, but I will show you anyway!

Here is my week to view... I will show you close up the two pages...

I made a beautiful Today Ruler which has some pretty Alice In Wonderland Stickers on it..

I have also used the to-do lists a bit..

I have also played boggle lots and lots in my Filofax...

Yes that is 40 words in one round! I was impressed!

So that is how my first week back in my Filofax is looking! I will give you another update soon!

Falling back in Love with Filofax.....Part 2....The Declaration

I am signing a declaration to show that I will stick to one Filofax for the whole of 2013 from now on and not change inserts etc, I can add pages etc but that is it.

I have decided that I will only change inserts if I moved to a job where I needed a day to a page.

Here is my declaration (if you want to join me email me at filofaximy@live.com I will email it to you!).

And here is the Filofax to which this declaration will be used upon!

The Layout...

The dividers for all 12 months....

Sorry it was brief, I have had to schedule two posts and this quickly!!!

Miss you all and I am sorry for my lack of blogging!!!

Art Box Haul - Philofaxy Meet Up

As part of the Philofaxy meet up, me and and 5 other girls went on an adventure to some of the Stationery shops around Covent Garden! It was amazing.. here is my Art Box haul!!!!!

The bag is so cute I am going to hang it in my room.

Now this shop has one issue, you end up picking up too much you want then having to put it all back as you cannot afford it.... major issue in my eyes.... too many amazing things!!!

I bought Stickers.... these were £1.20 a sheet (had to buy two)

 

And these were £1.60 per sheet

 

I also had to buy this little notepad for use in my Filofax it was £1.60

 

I am going back in two weeks to buy MORE!!!!

If you ever go to Covent Garden it is just behind Diesel on Neal Street!!!!

Why I prefer my Filofax over my Smart Phone...

I have a lovely Apple iPhone 4S and a absolutely drop dead gorgeous Filofax!

BUT even though this is the technology age I prefer to use paper and pen over a electronic device and here is why....

It never looses battery and is ALWAYS on

My Filofax always sits pretty in my bag or on my desk at work, I never have to charge it, I never have to worry that I wont be able to use it where there is no signal etc... but my iPhone I have to charge once a night and sometimes during the day as well, so i always have it on charge in my car or at work, it drives me mad, and as I live in the country side there is NEVER a signal!

The diary on my iPhone is RUBBISH

And Siri has no idea, I tried to tell her to schedule in to remind me to send a birthday card to my friend, this is what she came up with (Siri is Australia and a woman for me)

Filofaxes are so much more reliable and customisable!!!

And you can make your own pages!!! You never have to be stuck to a set layout of an app and use it how it wants you to use it, you can make it work the way you want, and not conform to a boring white and black theme..

FILOFAXES NEED TO RULE THE WORLD!

The One

I have been thinking for a while what "The One" means, and how you know if you meet them...

My idea of love is someone who takes your breath away, someone that makes you feel safe just with a message, someone who just wants to hold you and look after you, when they kiss you, you feel like the world is going to stop, when they touch you, you feel a tingle across your body, when they hold you, you feel so safe, you want to be with them and in their arms, you don't care about what your doing as long as your doing it when them.....I could go on forever....

If I am honest I have only really felt this once, I may of said I love you (usually because they have said it and i felt i had too) to people in the past but I have truthfully only felt this once!

If I am more honest, I never felt like that with my ex, I just felt like he may be my only shot at having a partner in life, which obviously that was untrue but that was how I felt. I may of felt happy sometimes but not all that often.

But it has made me question, what is "THE ONE", I believe you should know when you have met the one! I just feel that something inside you just tells you maybe?

But I do feel that when you find someone special who you fall in love with you should put 110% of yourself in to the relationship you should try and just be yourself, but also be the best you can be when you are needed to be, support them at all times, when they really need you be there etc...

But you should NEVER let go, well try not too!

Don't you sometimes wish life was easy? Its all so very complicated!

So what are your ideas of "love" and "the one"?

(Obviously this is all my opinion and others will not agree with me, we all have different opinions on things like this, but i just wanted to ask what yours was, so please no nasty comments, not that i am expecting any but you never know)
